Answer:

the bigger number is 42

the smaller number is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

use algebra to denote:

let x be the bigger number

let y be the smaller number

x+2y=62...(1)

3x-y=116...(2)

x=62-2y...(1a)

substitute

3(62-2y)-y=116

186-6y-y=116

-7y=116-186

-7y=-70

y=-70/-7

y=10

therefore x is:

x=62-2(10)

x=62-20

x=42

Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues. 1 - 3 + 9 - 27 + ...
meriva
There is no sum for this geometric series. it diverges rather than converges due to the absolute value of the common ratio (r), which is -3, being 3. for a geometric series to have a sum (to converge), the absolute value of r must be less than 1. 
(you find r by dividing a2/a1, a3/a2, etc.)

The table below gives data from a linear function. find a formula for the function.
baherus [9]
Given the following table that gives data from a linear function:

\begin {tabular}&#10;{|c|c|c|c|}&#10;Temperature, $y = f(x)$ (^\circ C)&0&5&20 \\ [1ex]&#10;Temperature, $x$ (^\circ F)&32&41&68 \\ &#10;\end {tabular}

The formular for the function can be obtained by choosing two points from the table and using the formular for the equation of a straight line.

Recall that the equation of a straight line is given by
\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using the points (32, 0) and (41, 5), we have:
\frac{y-0}{x-32} = \frac{5-0}{41-32}= \frac{5}{9}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{5}{9}(x-32)

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations choose the correct ordered pair
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

C. (4,28)

Step-by-step explanation:

The substitution method requires you to input a specified number in place of a variable. In this case, the variable 'x' should be replaced by the number 4. Using the order of operations, we know that multiplication should be applied before subtraction. When we replace 'x' with 4, we get the equation 'y=8(4)-4'. Multiplying 8 and 4 gives us 32. If we subtract 4 from 32, we get 28. The answer ends up being 'y=28'.

That is the first part of our solution. What we are actually looking for is an ordered pair. We know ordered pairs are written in the form (x, y). First, we need to find the 'x'. The 'x' has been given to us from the beginning, it is 4. Next is the 'y'. This is what we needed to find using substitution. We ultimately concluded that the 'y' is equivalent to 28. Therefore our ordered pair is (4, 28), the letter choice C.

I hope this helped you and that I clearly elaborated on the answer choice.
